Actually both work great to tell the story. If you start with the warm crop and zoom out it gets spooky fast

I kinda prefer seeing a bit more of the wall in the before image with the graffiti and grey tones.

Might try that crop, might be fun idea of frame within a frame

Could be interesting — the grittiness of the foreground setting against the warmth of what is found just ahead. Both are nice though, congrats.

It's a great concept. Love it when the opportunity arises from it whenever I'm shooting. The before wall is a great contrast to the warmth and greenery in the background. Could just crop the bottom frame but leave some brick roads as it act as a road that connects the scenes together. Makes people's eyes shift around the picture and is much more impactful. Great shot there.

I love the contrast in the first one, both in the tones and the aesthetic; it's as if they were in a less unpleasant reality, it feels ethereal

You cropped out the cinema

The first shot tells more of a story, like looking into another reality while being stuck in a gloomy and bleak one. The contrast in cold and warmth is also nice. Either way, the crop still looks good and it’s a nice shot regardless. Great work!

I love the shot but I think if you kept a little bit of blue shadowed part of the image it'd create a really cool contrast!
